MONTGOMERY — Herschel Luckinbill is taking a shot at restoring the military cannon at Riverside Cemetery here.
Many believed the cannon was a remnant of the Civil War, but Luckinbill, a U.S. Navy veteran, decided to find out exactly where it came from.
Luckinbill first checked out the cannon a few months ago.
"I almost got sick to my stomach for letting it decay," he said.
After getting partial numbers off the cannon, he was able to trace it to the Spanish-American War, fought some 120 years ago over both the Philippines and Cuba.
Luckinbill said Watervliet Arsenal in New York built the cannon wagon in 1889. The Rock Island Arsenal built the carriage in 1887.
He said it's not known how the cannon ended up in Montgomery.
"Everyone says it has always been there," he said.
Seeing the cannon in a state of disrepair, Luckinbill launched a project simply called "Save the Cannon," with a fundraising event scheduled this weekend.
Luckinbill said he already has received $4,160 for the restoration. The estimated price tag for the work is about $9,000 — and Luckinbill says he'd like the cannon restored by Memorial Day.
A fundraiser concert is slated for Saturday at the Montgomery VFW Post at 121 River St.
Nashville Recording Artist Ricky Lee and "That Violynist" Carrie Lyn Infusion will perform at 7 p.m. Tickets are $30 a person or $50 for couples. Several raffles will be held, including a chance to win a TV.
"We plan to have the cannon removed on Friday," Luckinbill said this week.
He hopes to be able to view the entire set of numbers so he can trace the exact origin for the artifact.
Luckinbill is not one to waste time — he has already scheduled a dedication ceremony along with a family picnic in the cemetery for Memorial Day.
At the same time he is working on the cannon project, Luckinbill said he has also secured the traveling Vietnam Moving Wall to be on display at West Aurora High School for Veterans Day, Nov. 7 to 11.

How many people are driving illegally in the car pool lanes on Highway 101?
Way too many. In 2009, the CHP gave out 1,667 tickets to suspected car-pool violators, up from 2008′s count of 1,458. And that's just the ones who got caught. And it was before the car-pool lanes were between Santa Rosa and Windsor.
An unofficial check this week by the Road Warrior indicates the number of violators isn't going down.
From 3:40 to 3:50 p.m. Tuesday, 83 cars/pickups/buses used the northbound car-pool lane as they passed under the pedestrian bridge just south of Highway 12 and 16 were violators. In the next 10 minutes, from 3:50 to 4 p.m., 103 cars/pickups/buses used the southbound car-pool lane and six were violators.
If that rate held consistent throughout the afternoon car-pool hours of 3 to 6:30 p.m., there would have been more than 460 violators at that spot — more than one-fourth of the violators ticketed in all of 2009 by the CHP.
Our tally erred on the side of giving drivers the benefit of the doubt. We only counted someone as a violator if it was clear the car had just the driver. Minivans, for example, were considered legal because we couldn't see all the backseats. And hybrids were counted as legal even if we weren't sure they had the DMV sticker allowing car-pool use, although three northbound hybrids were driver only and two southbound.
CHP Officer Jon Sloat said enforcement of the car-pool lanes is not one of the CHP's top priorities. He said that in previous years when federal grant money was available, the CHP used it to put extra officers on the highway to enforce the law, but that hasn't happened in the past year.
He said most violators who get tickets are those who took a chance and jumped into the car-pool lane with the hope of passing slow traffic but got caught by an officer they hadn't notice.
Sometimes it can be hard for officers to be sure there's just the driver in the car. Sloat said he's pulled drivers over with the intention of giving them a car-pool ticket only to discover a small child in the backseat that he didn't see.
If you get a ticket, the base fine is $100. But with all of the fees piled on by the state and county, the actual cost is $480.

HOw many of these car pool lane violators didn't even have a drivers license? If you can't read english, the signs make no sense. we need to post more signs in multi languages.
I see violators all the time. Like you said, using the lane to jump traffic. If the city makes that much from a ticket it would seem that officers would pay for themselves.
The car pool lane concept is an abject failure.
The lanes go unused and the high rate of speed
of these lanes in contrast to the congested ones
next to it is a serious safety hazard.
Individual drivers still pay highway tax via
gasoline sales and dmv fees and have every
right to use all lanes on the highway.
CalTrans can barely administrate its actual
task in an effective manner, let alone be a
political component in society.
End the car pool lanes.
I believe we should just abolish the 'carpool' lanes as such. Isn't the reason to upgrade freeways by adding more lanes to alleviate traffic congestion? Adding a 3rd lane to our freeways has not eased congestion, as the majority of drivers still use the standard 2 lanes, at least that seems to be the case while I'm driving around the area. Let all drivers use all available lanes and we should have a little better traffic flow.
I support the car pool lane concept. I suggest that Caltrans look into installing photo enforcement, such as they do on toll bridges and many cities do on busy intersections – this will deter cheaters, encourage car pools, and raise revenues.
You've now just figured this out? Same people who don't care about using Cell Phones or DUI's. Enforce the Laws. Stopp letting the little crim breakers get away with it and make them pay, then pay again by cleaning up the Highways.
Who ever wrote this Article could sit with a Camera along any Road and show our police the other laws with thousands of photos of Cell Phone/Texters and Drinkers… But then The Press is too scared to print the realkity of the people breaking the LAW.
Oh come to a residential Neighborhood and clock the average speed in a 25MPH,,, lets see if the Press Democrat will believe the Local Law Enforcement lies or do their job
I see about $2000 worth of tickets drive by me every morning and
I agree, do away with them. Overall the roads would be less congested if all 3 lanes were utilized more. The concept of having more people carpool to lessen emissions is just ludicrous. People who carpool would do so regardless and people who don't aren't going to just so they can use the carpool lane.
I live in Petaluma and drive to Santa Rosa frequently during the "diamond hours". I am not exxagerating when I say that MOST of the people passing me on the left in the diamond lane are single occupant drivers. Huge revnue should the CHP decide to do their jobs.
And, as far as "multi" language signs – are you high, Joe? If you can't read English you have NO BUSINESS on these roads. Just like driving in a European country that has another language. The driver is responsible for learning traffic laws and being able to navigate lawfully on the roads.
Commenter Mr. Ross claims that "the lanes go unused [BUT] the high rate of speed of these lanes" makes them hazardous. Well, really…if there is no traffic in the commuter lanes, then the speed is zero. The lanes are actually pretty well used, and way too often by violators. If re-reading Road Warrior's little 20 minute survey is not convincing, it could be time for a new eye exam.
People who can't read the carpool lane signs should not be driving a motor vehicle on public roadways in the first place – in ANY lane. Such people are a safety menace to others.
The car pool lanes need to go.
I communte from North County to South County. Every day, I see dozens of people using the car pool lane to bypass traiffic, especially during the evening northbound commute. The worst areas seem to be Northbound 01 from Hearn Avenue to Steele Lane and north of Airport Blvd to Windsor. I have been doing this commute for 5 months, and I have yet to see someone get pulled over.
Fine is $100 but with the fees it is $480?
That is what is criminal and should be investigated. That fine doesn't fit the infraction. How do they expect any working person to pay 480 just because they were in the lane that was moving, maybe needing to get to a job or get fired, who knows, but I know that $480 is criminal.
They rob you, and get away with it.
I travel from Southern Windsor to Cotati almost daily during typical traffic hours and honestly, not a day goes by where some one doesn't zip past me in the HOV lane riding solo. Just for giggles and to pass the time, I counted them. On that day, a Thursday, from Shiloh road to the bottleneck south of Todd, I counted 32 obvious solo drivers and at least a dozen where there MAY have been a child seat but I could not be certain that it was occupied.
Every once in a while you will see a CHP with one pulled over but it seems that the majority of stops along that stretch are due to speed infractions.
When I drive south to Rohnert Park at the 5 p.m. time period fully a fourth of the fast lane commuters are single drivers in cars/trucks/vans who shouldn't legally be there. More than half of those vehicles have dark window screens. Why not double or triple the fine if these vehicles have window tints – which aid their masking the number of occupants in the vehicle. Otherwise, why not just abolish the diamond lanes altogether because the congested lanes' vehicles must be spewing more emissions than if all commuters were able to drive faster and more efficiently emissions-wise than what is currently happening.
I usually carpool to work with my wife and daughter so the carpool lane has been a blessing from Windsor to Santa Rosa every morning.
Today I drove to work solo and it was, and continues to be, MUCH faster than it was four years ago before the third lane was added.
While I love these lanes when I luck out and happen to have someone else with me during commute times, I still think it's not right. Like folks have said, we all pay taxes to pay for the roads, so we should all have equal access to them. Do away with the commute lanes and perhaps traffic flow will improve a bit as well.
Did your "study" allow for the children in car seats that you cannot see from the pedestrian bridge near HWY 12? My child is in a car seat directly behind my driver's seat in both my SUV and wagon. "Photo enforcement" (as one reader suggests) would never work if you cannot see the backseat. I also have factory tint on my rear windows, and I do see people sneering at me (thinking that I am cheating even though I am not) as they try to pass me because I do the speed limit in the carpool lane, and sometimes below it based on driving conditions, ie. traffic. Just because the carpool lane in on the left does not permit drivers to speed well above 65 mph! And yes children do count as "people" in a carpool lane per the CHP.
Nobody commutes to Santa Rosa. A carpool lane in this town is absolutely useless, a waste of resources.
Yes, I gave people the benefit of the doubt if I couldn't see in their backseats. Most of the ones I counted as violators were two-seaters or had clear windows where I could see the backseat.
Abolish the carpool lanes. Reminds me of Animal Farm in reverse: two legs bad, four legs good (in the car, that is).
I agree with all who say the diamond lanes should be abolished. Sonoma county is the only place in California where there's only three lanes and one is a diamond lane. Everywhere else has at least three lanes before adding a diamond lane.
Hybrids get to use them as single passengers. These are called High Occupancy Vehicle lanes. Obviously the same environmental zealots who are turning off our streetlights are the same brain-donors who allowed hybrids to use the HOV lane.
And police get to use cell phones while driving and citizens can't.
Seems like the country where "all men are created equal" is not so equal after all.
Why can't the Press Democrat actually take pictures of the Violators, not postingtheir names and show Santa Rosa who is Committing these crimes. Oh by the way on the road to work today I laughed as a Sonoma County sheriff was talking on his phone while driving on Hwy 12 at Clistoga Road. I honked and waved and he just ignored me.
Hope he realizes he's breakingthe same law his is to enforce
I have a Suz Gsx 1100 motorcycle & a white helmet that scares the heck out of carpool cheats ,they try to merge to the right thinking I,m a cop witch is fine with me!.
A bunch of those were given out last year when the road was under construction and the lanes were not marked.
Commuter lanes are totally useless. It's a "take a trip" lane. It's not commuters using it, it's mom's with kids, and people who need to once in awhile go somewhere with another person.
That's awesome, M.C. Rider! I travel a lot for business and, come on, the best and worst place to drive is LA. Everyone there understands you need to go the speed limit or faster. Best because everyone goes fast, worst because at high traffic time the 405 backs up worst than anything we ever have to deal with in Sonoma County.
No highway improvements can be these days without local and/or Federal funds included. ANY Federal funds contributed to a highway widening project have tied to those funds that these monies have been stipulated as Carpool Lane funds. They must exist as a condition of getting the funds. No State or Local choice in the matter.
I agree, more scofflaws than poolers, just as there are always more speeders than compliers, and more cell phone abusers than anything else. Enforcement would pay for themselves in no time.
The only reason diamond lanes are needed in Sonoma County is so that people can drive to other counties – where your pay can actually support a Sonoma County priced home. The local leadership is not interested in developing a business-friendly environment that would lure well-paying jobs back into the area.
Other than that, diamond lanes are a scam.
Abolish the carpool lanes! What percentage of multi-occupant vehicles using the carpool lanes have real carpoolers in them? I'd wager much less than 50%. People who aren't old enough to drive aren't carpoolers. Families taking a day trip to the city aren't carpoolers, etc. etc.
The only place that the carpool lane seems to have any benefit right now is southbound 101 after the Todd Road exit. The lack of traffic in the southbound carpool lane makes it easier for the left two lanes to merge before you reach Rohnert Park. Once the RP-Cotati construction is complete, I think the carpool lanes need to be abolished. Ken Ross @7:35 am gave superb reasons IMO for doing away with the carpool lane designation.
You just figured this out? Not only do people use the carpool lane who shouldn't, but they do so at 80mph or more since there's so little traffic. Sometimes they're doing all this while chatting on their cell phones. It's ridiculous how little respect people have for our laws!
I don't see why the carpool lane is enforced from Windsor to SR in the afternoon, but I guess people are too stupid to figure out a carpool lane that begins at Steele Lane. Same goes for SR to Windsor in the am.
Police are exempt from the cell phone law.
We commute from Santa Rosa to San Francisco everyday and count at a minimum, a dozen violators in each direction. If there is a law that we need to follow, then the CHP needs to be out there enforcing it.
Carpool lanes work depending on the area. When you have a single highway that connects two major commuting destinations (880 between Oakland and San Jose for example), you see the effectiveness of the carpool lane. But when you have one highway that connects a relatively small population to a large metropolitan area with many different destinations (101 from Santa Rosa to the Bay Area), you wont find many people being able to carpool and these lanes will be underused.
What really makes no sense to me is a northbound carpool lane between Santa Rosa and Windsor. Really?
I wish the HOV lanes were 24/7 and available to all vehicles getting at least 40 mpg and those with 2 or more per vehicle. Would eliminate the government bureaucracy responsible for the HOV stickers and hassle over times.
The car pool lane is a joke, and everyone knows it. Get rid of it !!!
As you can see, the only time there are CHP officers patroling the diamond lane is when there is a grant given to enforce the infractions. This also is not a carpooling county and will never be. The only people that use the lane are "soccer moms, dope runners and cheaters, like myself. I drive in the carpool lane all the time, and I have never received a ticket yet!
I agree with the positions of Mr. Ross and Mr. Wiper – abolish the carpool lanes so that all drivers can use them. Until that happens, I encourage all solo drivers to cheat and use the lanes because doing so decreases traffic in the other lanes. It amazes me that in this country we build expensive infrastructure and then put constraints on it so that it becomes underutilized. Total folly!
Children in the car is a moot point considering the law actually states that the other passenger in the car during commute hours must be another licensed driver….
Laws in this state mean nothing. If the CHP and other LE would start enforcing all these laws, our quality of life would increase dramatically. People can only afford so many citations before it gets way too expensive. I drive from Cotati to Santa Rosa and back every day. Over 90% of the cars in the diamond lane are alone. Isn't the state going broke? There's your source of revenue. No tax increases. Follow the law and it wont cost you a dime. Violate and help get California solvent again.
Carpool lane problems, ride a bike !
We should all be required to have the fastrak contraption on our vehicles. This way we can all pay as we go. Automated monitoring and charging for how much you drive will make it more equitable to all. I live 4 miles from my house and do not need to get on the freeway at all. So live near where you work and you do not get stuck in traffic. Additionally if you wanted to drive in the HOV lanes then you can pay more if you do not qualify. The ability to pay to be in the HOV lanes is already in effect elsewhere and it is awesome.
Using the numbers in the article, the simple math extrapolates out to a potential income to the State of California of billions of dollars per year. Obviously, we can't catch everyone, but if we contracted out HOV lane patrol to private industry, I'll bet they'd figure out a way to get a whole bunch of that money. Then, we could get ignorant morons to pay down our deficit. Now, that's a beautiful idea!
Since when did having a kid in the car count for carpooling, they can't drive! It should only be two adult licensed drivers, not a kid that is not saving a car from being on the road. Also, shorten the time. 3 pm is way too early, make it 4:30 like Marin county, more people would be home and not congesting the freeway if they were not sitting in the other lanes. The commuter lane hardly has any cars traveling in it, but the other two lanes are congested. Whoever made up the times is out of his mind.
California drivers are often in too much of a hurry and try to squeeze by laws. How many drivers do you see going through yellow and RED lights at intersections because they are in too much of a hurry.
WE ALL pay/paid for the carpool lanes through taxes. WE ALL suffered through years of construction. WE SHOULD ALL GET THE BENEFIT of the lanes at any time of day. Opening up that HOV lane will quite obviously alleviate a good percentage of traffic in the other two lanes, WHICH IS THE INTENDED PURPOSE OF ADDING THE LANES. The government is not in place to screw citizens out of $480 each time a minor infraction takes place in order to make up for its inability to balance a budget. The government is supposed to be there to support us, not screw us.
The original concept of the HOV lanes was a noble experiment but I think highly ineffective in its execution. Having one on a 3 lane highway is plain silly and actually causes hazerdous situations by congesting traffic when it otherwise would not be congested. The hours seem very arbitrary as well. What can we do to get rid of them in Sonoma County? I would sign that petition!
The carpool lane idea in Sonoma County is completely bogus. It is FAR too spread out for many people to conveniently carpool. I live in Forestville, go to school in Santa Rosa, and work in Rohnert Park. There is absolutely NO way I can conceivably carpool with my schedule as specific as it is. We spent all this money on widening 101 and most people cannot use it during the most congested part of the day.
What an utter waste.
As a THOUGHTFUL CITIZEN MYSELF I do not think I should pay equally for others to drive all over the place when I do not. The only taxes that go toward highway funds come from gas taxes which obviously do not keep up with the current state of affairs. Look at our country roads being voted the worst in the bay area and our county does not have the ability to afford to maintain them. If you can afford the million dollar home out in the country then you can afford to fix the roads yourself. If you look at the price of gas in europe it is 40% or more than we pay. And the roads are much better in general. Pay as you go is the way to make all pay their fair share. And if you break the laws you deserve to pay through the nose. Otherwise change the law.
The State and its agencies are bankrupt, yet the CHP and other police agencies fail to capture hundreds of thousands of $ daily by failing to tag speeders, carpool and other obvious violators. They need to place pairs of hidden bike officers,(one with the radar the other with the wheels) to nab violators just how they did it on I-5 and they were nabbing 2-4 cars at a time. WHY ARE THEY ALLOWING HOTHEADED VIOLATORS TO DRIVE WITH IMPUNITY, AND MISSING OUT ON THOUSANDS OF $$ OF FINES? What is the problem?
Hey if we could get as many of the big truck deliveries onto flatbed rail then SMART could possibly make it and the roads would be less congested.
I would gladly pay an extra fee with my annual car registration for a "Carpool Lane Permit"…many other people would pay this too. The money would flow into state coffers without highly paid officers and court officials having to spend time bringing it in when they should be dealing with important crimes, not minor traffic infractions.
The HOV lanes are a Federal requirement, not a state one, and there is no Federal Highway Patrol…savvy CHP officers realize that the ability to cite a driver for this is a tool to be wielded as needed, but not something to spend 1/2 hour on every time – writing this same ticket all day is not effective dispatching of available law enforcement.
And, of course, one should have to show a valid driver's license to purchase fuel.
I've said this many times whenever I can. Carpool lanes are obsolete! Gas prices are already an adequate incentive to car pool when you can.
I believe carpool lanes are basically illegal. They are built with taxpayer money and we ALL are taxpayers and deserve to use all the lanes, carpool or not! I hope a grass roots movement will soon abolish these ridiculous carpool laws.
Many comments here favor getting rid of carpool lanes completely. Many others spew hatred for violators but really are just mad they can't use it themselves. We all should be able to use them, period. Our taxes, our roads, our right to access. Personally, I haven't used the freeway to commute for years and I'm glad, but I feel sorry for everyone who must use it. Why this conflict when the very basis for these lanes are debatable at best? Some comments rant about all the money lost because tickets are not being written. Don't forget these are people trying to get to work on time. The ticket money isn't going amount to a hill of beans. It is not helping anyone.
I'm sorry, but since when did Santa Rosa ever need HOV lanes in the first place? For our City to decide that they need to have HOV lanes is as laughable as Graton deciding they need a police departmnt and jail.

Where does it state this in the law? You're telling me that the CHP is wrong? Only jealous people complain about driver's carting children (our Nation's future) around in the carpool lane. We pay just as much gas taxes as you do if not more based upon our income taxes. It will be political suicide if you try to remove children as "people" from the carpool lane. We lived through the construction just like everyone else. Get another person in your car and stop complaining.
Also "Madmax," Soccer Mom's do not appreciate being lumped in the same category as "dope runners, and cheaters." Based on your cheating confession, either your Mama needs to give you a time out, or the CHP needs to give you a ticket. Maybe both?
And yes, people do commute within Sonoma County, or there would never have been that nightmarish issue with traffic on the former two lane 101 freeway in the first place.
Not every hybrid car looks like a hybrid car from above, though. It's easy to spot the Priuses, but my hybrid Honda Civic looks just like a regular Honda Civic.
I agree..Abolish the carpool lanes or Caltrans need to do a through study the local HOV, and document their effectiveness or revise the time period, and get the message out to the people. I drive daily from Steele Lane to Windsor at 4:00 and the carpool lanes for the most part are barely used except for violators. These lanes are not effective for traffic flow in this area. If Caltrans feels they are ..shows us your studies for this area not a highly congestion bay area example.
Steve, I applaud your idea to put a fire under Caltrans and see a legitimate local study performed. Something needs to be done, maybe your idea is a way to get change rolling.
Carpool lanes are the biggest waste of space. I see at least 40 violators next to me every morning M-F.
Environmentalists have gone to far too many extremes to make change. They are now more concerned about the environment than human beings. Yes we should be responsible but these are fund raising scams. The miserable conditions they have forced many to endure will not have lasting effects on the environment. In fact, the "plans" they have implemented are rarely backed by sound research: they are more like whimsical experiments that fail but are left in place. Have they considered that a vehicle weighted down with more people will burn more fuel than a lighter single occupancy vehicle. Have they considered that building hybrid cars (especially the batteries!!) impacts the environment worse than building "regular" cars. Something to consider: when they did a comparison of a BMW 3 series and a hybrid on a track the BMW had better fuel economy. These hybrid manufacturers (BMW too) are appealing to the hypocrisy that is rampant in our society. Bottom line—HOV lanes are poorly thought out nonsense.
I drive the 605 freeway and between the 10 and the 91, there are so many solo drivers that jump in and jump out of the HOV lane. There is never a CHP when you need one and there is no place for them to sit and monitor the lane anyway. There are several cameras going northbound but only 1 camera going southbound (according to Sigalert.com)
So I am obviously not telling anything new here. But I have had my share of tickets and I just cannot afford to do that anymore. Its time for these violators to held accountable for their actions. PERHAPS WE AS CITIZENS CAN HELP GENERATE REVENUE FOR THIS BROKE STATE WE LIVE IN
So I decided to take pictures with my cell phone. In a small stretch of the 605 between the 60 and 91, I captured more than 25 solo drivers.
Oh where oh where can I send these pictures to??
I welcome your comments and suggestions
there is so much revenue to be gained here. $500 a ticket at 10 per day (I see at least that many on my way to work and back. That's $5,000 per CHP officer per day. If 50 officers got 10 violators a day, thats $250,000! Yes a quarter of a million a day in revenues for the state. Stop with the excuses and get out there and get these guys tickets.
then make it a moving violation to deter people who can shrug off the fine (those with deep pockets). It won't be so easy to brush off a ticket if it means points will be added to your record leading to eventual license suspension!
I post pics of these jerks on my Facebook page just for fun.

Today: You've outgrown your IT Infrastructure, but you don't have the space, capital or staff to efficiently expand. You're faced with massive amounts of data growth, unstable application performance and an infrastructure that just won't scale.
Tomorrow: You have the space, power and systems to grow your IT Infrastructure at the speed you grow your business.
Colocation is ideal for enterprises that need to maintain flexibility, reduce risk and stabilize capital and operating expenses. That's why 64% of organizations engage in some form of data center colocation services, according to Focus Research Group.
Key benefits of colocation

Farmington wants to build aircraft canopy

Sep. 25--FARMINGTON -- The city wants to spend $250,000 in state funding on a shaded outdoor shelter for airplanes before the state of New Mexico takes away the money to balance its budget.
The city wants to build a 300-foot-long, 45-foot-wide aircraft canopy with space for 14 private planes at the Four Corners Regional Airport, according to city documents. The shelter would approximately double the number of shaded spaces that already exist at the airport.
More than 100 general aviation aircraft are based at the airport, said Rod Hunt, director of the city's General Services department. Many are parked in hangars and shelters while others sit uncovered.
It's not known when construction would begin, and city councilors are supposed to review the project before it goes forward.
The shelter, with electrical outlets and lighting, would cost $213,000. The remaining money would fund lighting and electrical outlets for the older shaded shelters, according to the city. The city estimates it would make almost $8,000 every year renting spaces in the proposed shelter.
Airport Advisory Commission members Steve Thomas and Donal Key said they supported the shelters at a meeting Thursday.
Thomas said he knew pilots who wanted to move their planes from the hangars to an outdoor shelter.
Key and Thomas were the only two members who attended the meeting. Three other commission members, Jim Donald, Cliff Booton and Tony Bennett, did not attend.
The New Mexico Department
of Transportation approved the funding July last year, and the city was supposed to spend it on airport hangar improvements within five years, according to city documents.
But the city believes the state may pull back the grant to help fill a $400 million deficit in this year's budget.
The chances of the state withdrawing the funding if the city decided to build the shelters were "very slim," Hunt said.
The funding would have covered less than half the cost of a new airplane hangar, so the city couldn't build one, he said.

It's anybody's ballgame, but score it disadvantage, Padres.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
The Red Sox have 13 players on the DL, and the seven outfielders include Carl Crawford (elbow), Jacoby Ellsbury (shoulder) and Ryan Sweeney (seven-day concussion DL).
"I'm just happy to be back," said the 36-year-old Podsednik, whose Game 2 homer was the key hit in the 2005 World Series. "It has been a long haul, but you never know what can happen."
With the outfield in shambles, manager Bobby Valentine moved Gold Glover Adrian Gonzalez from first base to right field as a way to fit both Kevin Youkilis and Will Middlebrooks into the lineup. He's playing Gonzalez in the big right field at Fenway Park rather than the small left field because it allows him to maintain the same perspective as at first base. Sweeney should return this week, but Crawford and Ellsbury aren't expected back until July.
True rocket: The Giancarlo Stanton grand slam that temporarily knocked out a portion of the video display of the auxiliary scoreboard at Marlins Park shattered the record for highest velocity off the bat the ESPN Home Run Tracker ever has registered.
Stanton's blast was recorded at 122.4 mph, more than 10 mph above David Ortiz's mark that had been the leader in the rankings that began in 2006. It was Stanton's fourth grand slam, which made him the fourth player ever to hit four grand slams before age 23. The others are Ted Williams, Eddie Mathews and Ken Griffey Jr.
"That's good company,'' Stanton said.
The last word: "Only God knows my swing better than myself." — Albert Pujols, who recently spent time with Tony La Russa but said he did not seek any hitting advice.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — State regulators are proposing NV Energy Inc. offer digital electric meters that can be read from a moving vehicle to customers who oppose the utility's new smart meters.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the Public Utilities Commission released a draft order Thursday outlining a program for ratepayers who want to opt out of smart meters.
Company officials say replacing 1.45 million analog meters statewide with meters that can be read remotely would save $36 million a year.
But some customers object, citing fears that electromagnetic waves from the smart meters could be harmful.
The draft order calls for NV Energy to file suggestions for opt-out rates within the next two months.

I worked at Standard Parking part-time for more than 3 years
Pros – If you are a high school/college student you have plenty of time in between lunch hour and when everyone goes home to study or read. There really is not much supervision, the job is easy to do does not entitle much no former experience is needed.
Cons – There are a lot of customer problems so if you work for standard parking you much know how to separate business with personal feelings. The company does not value a students schedule it is not flexible it is set in stone and does not respect its part-time employees. There is also no way to advance within the company my former employee instead of giving me a management position in another location she gave it to her daughter. Instead of another employee with more years and experience.
Advice to Senior Management – I advice management to REPLACE all of its booth Attending's with the Electronic Machines. That way the company can save its money without having to pay employee's and managers or area supervisors it would cut the company cost greatly as a former employee I felt I did nothing that a 3rd grader students could not do working as a cashier in a booth in a parking garage.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Winner of Best Celebrity Cut ~ 2014
I got a great haircut and color from Steven at Salon Jack's. He really listened to what I wanted and it looks great/I've gotten lots of compliments on my new look. I highly recommend him!
I was referred to Steven at Salon Jack by a friend of mine because I just moved into the South Tampa area. I was really nervous to see a new stylist because I had been going to the same guy for six years. Steven immediately put my nerves at ease because he really listened to the type of cut I was going for totally nailed it! I was so pleased. Thanks Salon Jack, you guys rock!
My Recent visit at Salon Jack was truly amazing experience. As soon as I walked in the front door of the gorgeous salon, I was greeted with exceptional customer service and felt very welcomed!! Brock my stylist took great care of me. He was very thorough in what I anticipate with my new look and did a FANTASTIC job!!! I would recommend this salon to my friends and family and will definitely be returning soon. Thank you Salon Jack!!!!
Best Tampa Salon – Salon Jack is the best salon in Tampa. It is always is a good value, fun atmosphere, and the location is perfect for me. My hair color and haircut always last allowing me to stretch out my appointments.
Fun, courteous place to get a haircut. The stylist really do a great job and the customer service is awesome! It also doesn't hurt that the stylists are easy on the eyes!
Great vibe, tremendous personalities, great customer service and, oh yeah, a great cut! Thanks!
I am from Ohio but wanted to get a haircut. Did my research and found Salon Jack. I was not disappointed. Great Cut by Chad (the owner). He gave a great consulation and gave me tips on styling my "new do". Great Service!!! Wish I could take your salon to Ohio
Salon jack has a bad vibe about the salon. Quality of customer service is very bad and pricing is very expensive. Would never go back to a salon like that again.
The staff here is always helpful and friendly. Chad is amazing! He always makes my fine hair look thicker I don't trust any one else with my hair, He's wonderful!

the only absolute truth is the physical world, everything else is just gravy
so as the topic states this thread is about absolute truth, and reasons way there is or isn't.
basically I'm reading some books on subjects of Omnism and people creating their own religion and such. and so i seek public opinion at MT about whether there is any absolute truth and why or why not.
just post your view on what truth is and why.
the only absolute truth is the physical world, everything else is just gravy
okay... and why is that?

"People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts… their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?"
My friend Itachi Uchiha. Thus the notion of truth is merely in the eye of whoever questions it.

The powerful play goes on, and you... May contribute a verse.
But if truth is defined by whoever cares to define it then there is no truth but only opinions. Which means there is no right in the long run because right is whatever you want it to be. So Hitler was really an okay guy, he was just following truth as he saw it. Who am I to get in the way of his truth. Same thing with every other mass murderer or psychopath out there. if every one is right then nothing is wrong and everything is permissible. right?
Last edited by greenfox; 10-16-2013 at 12:46 PM. Reason: i suck and spelling and grammar
There is of course, the problem of morals and such. But yes, truth is subject to the questioner, it is not a static object that can be defined by a neutral party.
The powerful play goes on, and you... May contribute a verse.
but once again multiple and opposite view points can't all be correct at the same time. One man believes that fire will burn, and another man does not believe in fire at all. yet when both of them are stuck in a burning building the one who believes in fire will run out. the one who denies fire will stay be be burned. so there are undeniable laws of nature, those we can't just make up and change at our whims. so aren't we subjected to truth of nature and laws of science. isn't science the neutral party that defines truth. and the man who believes in fire or the scientist, also find truth.
I suppose you could say there are undeniable truths : you cannot jump out of a window from the 30th floor and expect to survive, even if you do not believe in gravity, nor can you deny that wind does not exist because you cannot see it. Truth is defined by one's experience in the world : what you live becomes your truth. If you are burned by fire, you will take steps thereafter to not repeat your mistake, you discover the truth about fire : it burns.
We haven't got to the subject of "Absolute truth" in our philosophy lessons, but I recall a lesson abut what true happiness is. That, along with truth, holds subjective parts to it. To Voltaire, to attain true happiness you must be rich and spend it on whatever takes your fancy, mainly booze and... whores. To him anyway. To others, true happiness lies not in the abundance of things, but in the simple things. Thus people talk of 'life's simple pleasures".
We could then say that everything has an element of truth to it, but another is subject to the individual. Only when all individuals are alike (and therefore, no more uniqueness) will a single truth be absolute.

Nothing like a philosophical debate on a Wednesday afternoon to remind me of what an empty life I live.
The powerful play goes on, and you... May contribute a verse.
I am reading your argument as best I can so forgive me if i misinterpret... I still don't under stand if your saying there is or is not an "Absolute truth"
as you've said there are undeniable truths: gravity, science, etc... and there are truths we create by our encounters, shaping what we believe and what our definition of truth is. therefore we all find truth through living. but that assumes that there are no lies, which brings us back to morals. if there is no wrong then why do we know there is wrong. or assume there is such a thing as evil. does a fish know it is wet if it spends it whole time in water. no. why would we ever consider the fact that there is such a thing as evil, if evil does not exist.

"Reality is that which does not go away when you stop believing in it." Philip K. Dick.
I'll weigh on this properly tonight or tomorrow. But really it's a question of both metaphysics and to an extent epistemology. I think any question of the former invariably involves elements of the latter. What's real and how do we know?

Lightweight and powerful hunting classics Made in Germany
Two truly bright giants in the successful MINOX BL binocular line have been revised. Perfect companions for the observation of game and nature in moonlight or at dawn, these lightweights offer uncompromising optical quality at very attractive price-performance ratio.
In spite of their extreme twilight performance the MINOX BL 8x56 and BL 15x56 weigh just over 1,000 grams. The outstanding optical design and mechanical precision of these powerful BL classics have been further enhanced to set new standards in this segment. An innovative M* multi-coating optimizes the light transmission and colour rendition of the binoculars. Up to 21 layers applied to the glass surfaces prevent the loss of light through reflections. A new coating of just a few nanometres in thickness is applied to all glass/air surfaces using the high-vacuum vapour deposition method and guarantees true colours of the highest level as well as maximum light transmission for an enhanced pin-sharp definition particularly in poor light.
Roof prisms with phase correction coating provide an image with exceptional detail rendition and high contrast.
The external design of the BL 8x56 and BL 15x56 has been upgraded and is now conform with the BL comfort bridge binoculars. The new metal focusing wheel with rubber ribs is easy to use and quick to adjust. It also features a finger-felt marking for the infinity setting. By feeling the actual setting, the user can quickly focus on the game in view, even in twilight conditions. With resting forearms, even the BL model with 15x magnification can be moved quickly and steadily. As an alternative, the binoculars can be used with a tripod that is attached to the tripod thread using a quick-action adapter.
Argon filling on the inside of the binoculars prevents fogging of the glass surfaces and provides permanent protection against corrosion. With the extended eye relief, the entire field of view can be enjoyed at all times, also when wearing glasses. Twist-type retractable rubber eyecups with individual click stops are another convenient feature.
The BL binoculars come with a wide neoprene strap and an ever-ready case.
MINOX Lifetime Total Coverage Warranty
While every MINOX riflescope is built to operate perfectly in the harshest environments and after enduring the roughest handling, uncontrollable, unexpected things can happen in the field which results in a damaged Riflescope. Thats why MINOX provides complete* no-fault warranty protection with every MINOX riflescope: simply, MINOX will repair or replace any damaged MINOX riflescope with no questions asked.
*This warranty does not cover fire, theft, loss, or intentional damage and is applicable only to permanent residents of the USA or Canada.

Growing up in pre-Rockies Colorado, Scott Elarton — like countless fans in non-major league markets in the pre-ESPN, pre-MLB Network era — got most of his baseball fix watching the Chicago Cubs on Superstation WGN.
"I knew all the Cubs guys," Elarton said. "I could probably go through the whole lineup if I thought about it a little more."
Some 25 years later, in what's undoubtedly one of the final seasons of his own professional career, Elarton finds himself playing for the most famous of those Cubs he grew up watching.
And very soon he expects to be watching Ryne Sandberg back in a big league uniform as a manager.
Sometime over the next few weeks, Sandberg's second season as manager of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs will come to an end. If Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. is half as smart as he thinks he is, he'll use that Stanford education to figure out a way not to let the Hall of Famer get away from the Phillies organization a second time.
Obviously, that's not a breaking revelation by any stretch of the imagination. The overwhelming consensus is that the Phillies were fortunate last year not to lose Sandberg, and it's pretty much a unanimous opinion by those who play for him that Sandberg is ready to take over a major league team.
"Without a doubt he's ready," Elarton said. "I think he would excel even more at the big league level just because of the way he does things, and he wouldn't have to deal with all the stuff you have to deal with here."
"I definitely think he's ready," said Pete Orr, who says Sandberg displays some of the same characteristics as both of the successful managers he's played with, future Hall of Famer Bobby Cox at Atlanta and the Phillies' Charlie Manuel.
"Hell yeah," veteran Kevin Frandsen answered emphatically when asked if he felt Sandberg is ready. "Without a doubt. Being around enough big-league managers, I think he'd be an unbelievable big-league manager."
Sandberg had already compiled a fairly impressive resume as a minor league manager before coming to the Phillies in the winter of 2010 after being bypassed by the Cubs to replace Lou Piniella. All he's done the past two seasons is solidify his credentials.
He's not going to repeat as Baseball America's manager of the year this season, as he was last year — if Scranton's Dave Miley doesn't win every minor league managerial award out there, there's something wrong with the selection process.
Still, the job Sandberg has done this season to have the IronPigs in contention for a second straight trip to the postseason is, in the eyes of many, superior to the job he did last year when he guided the team to within two games of an International League championship.
A year ago, five players — Rich Thompson, Erik Kratz, Brandon Moss, Delwyn Young and Josh Barfield — played more than 100 games, all but Kratz more than 120.
By the time the 2012 season is over, Kratz, a two-time International League all-star, will have played more games with the Phillies than has with the IronPigs.
Domonic Brown was expected to a fixture in the heart of the IronPigs lineup as he tried to resuscitate his career, but spent two lengthy stints on the disabled list and played just 60 of a scheduled 111 games before moving on to Philadelphia for good July 31.
Hector Luna, also expected to be a feature in Sandberg's lineup, has played in 61 games so far.
In all, Sandberg has had to deal with 136 transactions this summer and has seen 56 players wear an IronPigs uniform, both records for the five-year-old franchise and more turnover than Sandberg ever has had to deal with since starting his managing career in six years ago at Peoria, Ill. Yet with nine days left in the regular season, Sandberg has the IronPigs in position to reach the postseason again.
"He's been phenomenal," said Joe Jordan, the Phillies' director of player personnel. "What he's done setting the tone here has been very impressive. I couldn't be more impressed with what the guy has done here."
The team concept is at the core of Sandberg's philosophy, and it's helped the IronPigs endure the revolving door on the clubhouse.
"It's one of my challenges and one of my goals and what I believe in, so to see this happen and to see the team continue to stay above water and where we're at, that's gratifying," Sandberg said. "What I've tried to do is deal with it, turn it into a positive and keep the team rolling in the same direction. Different challenges have come up in the course of years managing, and it's not always the same thing. To stay level-headed about it and make the most of the situation and get the most out of my players is always the goal."

It was 79 and partly sunny in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday.
So what that Fort Lauderdalians were cruising the roads with the top down while Chicago was enjoying a little precipitation? OK, sticklers might prefer the word "sleet," but whatever.
Anyway, my dear Fort Lauderdalians, it's not even cold here. It was so warm Thursday that when I stepped off the curb to get in my car, I plunged into slush up to my ankles. Cold? Cold is when that curbside mess is 100 percent ice mixed with dog poop.
So who needs Fort Lauderdale?
The Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau (sunny.org) thinks we do, and on Wednesday it dispatched its beachmobile to Pioneer Court, next to Tribune Tower, to convince us.
Inside the beachmobile, a live man in swim trunks batted a beach ball around with a live woman in a bikini. On an outdoor beach chair, near the live beach cam broadcast, lounged an ice sculpture of a bikini-clad babe. Another ice figure did a headstand on a paddle board, an ancient Hindu practice known as yoga boarding.
Encased in a big ice block was yet another bikini. Passers-by were encouraged to stand behind it to be photographed, creating the illusion — chuckles — that they were wearing the teensy suit.
My dear Fort Lauderdalians — Lauderdites? — trust me. You do not want to see Chicago bodies in bikinis on your beaches this time of year. The sight of so much Chicago winter blubber would chase your visiting Canadians straight to Mexico.
"Want me to take your photo?" one of the beachmobile promoters chirped as I walked past. She smiled as if to say what could be more hilarious than me in a bikini in Chicago in February?
I unzipped my 550-goose-fill down coat with a defiant flourish.
"No, thanks!" I said. In Chicago in the winter, an unzipped coat is as liberating as any bikini.
Why is it that people in places like Fort Lauderdale — by which I mean places made soft by too much sun and too few clothes — think Chicagoans want to escape the very thing that makes Chicago Chicago — by which I mean winter?
"Why would a Chicagoan want to come to Fort Lauderdale in the winter?" I asked Francine Mason, a spokeswoman for the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau.
She laughed. "That's funny," she said.
Funny? No, funny is Chicago people in bikinis in February.
Look, maybe we would like to get away from this wintry slop. But don't tell us we do. It's like talking trash about someone else's family; family members can do it, but anybody else gets punched.
"We're not saying move here," Mason said. "Just take a break."
Mason was very nice, but why shouldn't she be? It was 79 degrees out. She admitted that while years in Fort Lauderdale haven't erased her New York accent, they have vanquished her inner winter warrior.
"Once you live here for quite a while," she said, "anything below 70 feels cold."
See, this is our problem. Here in Chicago, we believe in the fortifying nature of winter. We find our comfort, our meaning, our identity, not in surf and sand but in the belief that anything below 32 makes us strong.
So, Fort Lauderdale, we'd like to extend an invitation. Come to Chicago. In February. We'll be sending our slushmobile down your way. You can pose in ugly, puffy jackets and heavy boots and feel what it's like to grow some winter spine.
For more, visit us at http://www.bleepinfreezin.org, where our slush cam is on 24 hours a day until May.
